Built-in Backup

Azure Backup is simple because it’s built into the platform. It has one-click backup support for SQL database and virtual machines running in Azure. Azure Backup is cost-effective and less complex than other cloud backup solutions while keeping your data safe from ransomware and human errors.

Reduce your costs

Eliminate the need for tape or offsite backup. Get cost-effective short- and long-term retention, and restore SQL Database, individual files, folders, and VMs in Azure or on-premises at no additional cost.

Protect against ransomware

Enable multifactor authentication using a security PIN from the Azure portal. Suspicious cloud backup activities prompt a notification, and unauthorized deleted backups are retained for up to 14 days while your data is encrypted by default.

Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery both support business continuity and disaster recovery—but Azure Backup is designed specifically to back up and restore data, whereas Site Recovery is designed to perform seamless application disaster recovery. Get more information.
